NRCC’s first ad buy includes three Pa. races

The National Republican Congressional Committee’s first round of TV airtime reservations is targeting Pennsylvania’s open Hose seat and two of the state’s most vulnerable Democratic incumbents.

Politico reports that 3rd, 7th and 11th Congressional Districts are all on the NRCC’s ad buy list. The committee’s Democratic counterpart has significantly more cash on hand, and all three districts were among a larger slate of ad reservations made earlier by Democrats.

The districts are the three most competitive races on the pa2010.com Congressional Power Rankings. Kathy Dahlkemper is fighting off a challenge from Republican Mike Kelly in the 3rd; Paul Kanjorski is again facing Republican Lou Barletta in the 11th; and Republican Pat Meehan is facing Democrat Bryan Lentz for the open seat in the 7th.

    and why not the 8th Congressional District, Fitzpatrick and Murphy?

    Is there anywhere online that’s providing the details of the entire buy (for both the DCCC and NRCC)? I would like to know exactly how much they plan to spend and where.

    Lil … Because FitzFlop can’t win in PA-08 as he is an uninspiring career politican who does not resonate well with independents. Yeah, give me a Bush-era Congressman who changes all of his opinions after getting voted out of office while running against a then-nobody Patrick Murphy.
